Tensura: Ancient Artifacts
Tensura: Ancient Artifacts introduces a new layer of equipment progression centered around Tensura: Reincarnated.
Discover and equip powerful artifacts that grow alongside your character, unlock new effects, enhance existing skills, and support a wide variety of combat builds.
Artifacts are designed to be more than simple stat sticks. Each artifact can change how you play by improving combat styles, empowering specific skills, unlocking alternate modes, or giving players new ways to build around magic, physical damage, mobility, defense, awareness, and elemental attacks.
Progressive Artifacts
Artifacts are divided into multiple grades, with higher-grade artifacts offering stronger and more specialized effects.
As players gain EP, their artifacts can evolve and unlock:
- New stat bonuses
- Additional passive effects
- Skill-specific enhancements
- Alternate skill modes
- Visual artifact changes as they evolve
Some of the strongest artifact effects may also require special progression conditions beyond simply reaching an EP threshold.
Artifact Refinement
Artifacts can be refined through an anvil to improve their existing effects.
Each artifact grade has its own refinement limit, and individual effects can have separate refinement caps to keep stronger effects balanced.
Refinement can improve many different artifact properties, including:
- Damage bonuses
- Speed bonuses
- Magicule cost reduction
- Cooldown-related effects
- Skill enhancement values
- Defensive bonuses
- Special mode duration
- Combat scaling effects
